how to package a django project?

Question

How can i package a project so that i can just call some function that runs the project?

I know how to package a django app, but my question is how to package a django project.

Currently i have my project on an internal pypi server and can pull it down using:

pip install [project]

but then to use it i have to go into my site-packages and then the package just so i can run

./manage.py ....

Or am i just better off checking out the project and pip installing the apps?

One way, is to create a package using your distros package management system. At my shop, we use Ubuntu's aptitude. So package our software as a .deb using CMake.
